"Sven of Norrköping, Capt. N.P. Nielsson, painted before
1910 , the vessel under full sail off a coastline with a steamer
in the distance, signed and inscribed, Watercolor, 35 x 52 cm, the
possession of a Private Collector in Berlin, Germany
Note: The hull of the vessel has been
heightened with white, the ensigns has been painted with Gouache

have been faded slightly. Often Reuben Chappell water-colors are
even much more faded than this one and the sky has a brown tone.
